The dresser, what else did you think I meant? The piece of furniture I mentioned a week ago has finally come together, mainly through the help of my next door neighbour who provided the muscle to get the top cupboard onto the bottom. It took me much longer to clear the space and to clean and polish the dresser which is slightly more damaged than I'd first appreciated, it being twisted on its base slightly - it's not noticeable unless one is looking for it, though it does affect the way the doors shut on the bottom: something I can probably remedy - the doors that is.

So haven't had time to write tonight, will try and do better tomorrow. Been out looking at fossils at Lyme Regis with a friend. Added an Orthoceras to my collection.

A fascinating radio documentary about being gay and being in prison in the UK, presented by Stephen Fry on Radio 4.

Or is BC running slower than ever. It's like dial up.

Life is what happens in between making plans and actualising them. Families are collections of random lunatics the universe throws together because they share some genetic material, friends are people we like.

My daughter got married last week, she went with her partner to New York and they got spliced in Central park. I've seen some photos and it looked really nice. It also means I've not seen either of my children get married. They did it for all sorts of reasons, the trip to New York, but part of it, rightly or wrongly, I suspect is to avoid having to explain me.

Sorry, some life issues have taken away my energy tonight, as well as too much work and not enough play. Too tired to write, off to bed for an early night with a good book.
